Re: Task Scheduler - Error 5

Hi Jim Callan,

Try the Resolution in this MSKB article:
You receive error message 0x80090016 or error message 0x8009000f when you
try to schedule a task
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=246183

Although the article references the WIN2K series, the Resolution apparently
worked for Sunil, the poster in this windowsxp newsgroup thread:
http://groups-beta.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin/browse_thread/thread/6037d6cfe0fa138/3757eb7918072cb8
